Quotes
“When I first started looking at the Kids Have Stress Too materials, I couldn't believe that it was for three year olds. Because I thought, as an adult, I'm trying to learn how to manage stress. But imagine if you started gaining some of those tools when you were three years old. What a difference that could be.” - Dr. Linda Scott
